View allMy aunt is 49 and has a bulky uterus measuring 17138 cm with multiple fibroids, the largest being 70mm. She's on medications but doesn't have excessive bleeding, pain, or other symptoms. How serious is this does she need surgery or can she keep managing with meds until menopause?
A 70mm fibroid in a bulky uterus (17138 cm, which seems to be a typo and is likely a measurement in a different unit, perhaps 171.38 cm) in a 49-year-old woman can be managed with medication if there are no symptoms or significant complications, especially as she approaches menopause.

I had laparoscopic surgery 25 days ago to remove a cyst from my left ovary and I'm on a 3-month course of medication. The wounds have healed and I don't have any pain now. Since I'm a dance student, I really need to get back to practice when would it be safe for me to start dancing again?
You may resume dance 4–6 weeks after laparoscopic cyst surgery, but get clearance from your surgeon first. Avoid high-impact moves early on.
